ALLEGAN, MI -- An elderly man in the process of evicting Jody Snyder from his Allegan home is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday afternoon, charged with killing Snyder.

Warrants were authorized for the arrest of Marion Conley, 79, on open murder and felony firearms charges in connection with the incident, which occurred March 8 or 9, and a charge of resisting arrest and obstructing an officer in connection with Conley's March 20 arrest, Allegan County Prosecutor Fred Anderson said.

Snyder, 37, was found dead inside his Valley Township home Saturday
night, March 9. An autopsy revealed he died of a gunshot wound,
according to the Allegan County Sheriff's Office.

Conley was selling a home to Snyder on land contract, and Snyder had fallen behind on payments, Conley told a MLive/Kalamazoo Gazette reporter on March 10. He said he visited Snyder Friday evening, March 8. Conley said that after Snyder's body was discovered police questioned him for about three hours then released him.
